The Rant! 😡 #04 Signal Failures WTF!

Signal Failure, the two dreaded words every commuter hates to hear. Nobody really knows what it means but it happens frequently and nobody has ever figured out how to fix the problem permanently.

A signal failure is like the ‘red ring of death’ on the xbox 360, once it happens it’s game over and you have now added a major fucking inconvenience to your life.

A signal failure sounds like such an elementary problem, how can it still exist on a daily basis? Even though we have all this technology in the world today we still have not figured out how to solve the mystery of signal failures.

I wrote to Transport for London and to the Mayor of London Boris Johnson and I offered them a lifetime of assistance if they could tell me the cause of the problem. I promised to dedicate the rest of my lifetime to solving this one problem for all of mankind. Needless to say I didn’t get a response.

Some of you reading this are probably waiting for or stuck on a train right now. To help you pass the time here is a short clever video from Black Moon Studios demonstrating how to avoid getting hit by a train. Enjoy.
